发明名称 Memory bit line output buffer
摘要 The present invention provides an output buffer 38 for the signal from a bit line 16 that is precharged by a precharging gate 34. The output buffer 38 comprises a stack of field effect transistors made up of an isolation transistor 40 switched by a clock signal indicating the precharge period, a precharge state driver transistor 42 and a non-precharge state driver transistor 44. The non-precharge state driver transistor 44 is connected directly between the output signal line of the output buffer and the ground. The two driver transistors 42,44 are of different polarities and are switched by the bit line signal. In operation, during the precharge period, the precharge state driver transistor 42 is disabled from changing the output of the output buffer 38 by the isolation transistor 40 whilst the non-precharge state driver transistor 44 is disabled by the transition to or maintenance of the precharge signal value on the bit line 16.
